Genesee & Wyoming<\/a> acquired Rail America some months back and so now New England Central<\/a> is one of the many G&W family railroads.<\/p>\n

While several locomotives have been painted in the new corporate colors (or rather, G&W\u2019s traditional paint scheme), many of New England Central\u2019s locomotives remain in various former liveries, including the railroad\u2019s original blue and yellow.<\/p>\n

On Monday October 28, 2013, New England Central job 610 (a turn that runs from Willimantic, Connecticut to Palmer, Massachusetts) sported a pair of nicely painted G&W locomotives.<\/p>\n

My dad and I made chase of this train on its southward run. I exposed digital still photographs, while Pop made some video clips with his Lumix LX7.<\/p>\n

The sun was playing tag with us, but the locomotives were so bright and clean it hardly mattered if the sun was out or not.<\/p>\n
